***FAMILY HISTORY***






Olden hands, open book 
Flip from page to page 
Familiar smile, misty eyes 
Long for bygone days, Pictures old and tattered 
Stagnant browns and grays 
Faded color, bent and torn 
O marvel at the page, Standing in their prime 
Vibrant in their youth 
Stand alone, or family 
Such a motley group, Dresses overflowing 
Blouses to their necks 
Prim and proper, beautiful 
These women at their best ,Donning handsome Sunday garb 
Men strike their manly pose 
Their faces full of history 
These pictures surely show, Babies in their christening gowns 
Children dressed up proper 
Lived and gone some children are 
Can't help but sit and ponder, Window to the past 
These pictures truly prove 
Love and treasure history 
Instill it in our youth, Another page, another group 
Of family dead and gone 
To wonder at their ways and whys 
Their memories live on ,Flip a page, crack a smile 
Another memory 
Grandma, Grandpa, Parent and Child 
Our family history...

                       *****OUR FAMILY TREE ****





Within a little circle of gold 
Lies a story to be told, 
Of a man and his wife 
Who came together to start a new life. 

Of this union a great family was started 
That binds us together never to be parted. 
They tended and cared for this family you see 
With great dreams and hopes of what we will be. 

This family of so many generations 
Has stayed together by hard work and determination. 
Like a garden needing plenty of sunshine and rain, 
Our family has grown through love and pain. 

Blessed be to the couple who started this tree 
For without them we would never be. 
They gave us life and a family to run. 
Thank God to them for we're all here as one.
